CLEVELAND (AP) — The Golden State kept gold glittering. And it is safe to say that the Warriors rule in the NBA as a 'dynasty'.
Stephen Curry topped the game's high-score 37 points, while NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant scored a triple-double, to advance the Warriors to a dominant 108-85 win this Friday (Saturday in Manila) and complete the 'sweep' of the best-of-seven championship.
The Warriors won the first back-to-back championship and third in the past four championships against the so-called 'The King' LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers.
"This is so hard to do and doing it three out of four years is incredible," Klay Thompson said.
The victory of the Warriors was the first 'sweep' of the NBA Finals since 2007 where the San Antonio Spurs drove the Cavaliers, led by James before.
And in his career of eight straight finals appearance, James regained consciousness, enough to form the speculation that the four-time MVP would leave Cleveland again.
James finished with Finals career-high 51 points in Game 1, 23 points and no longer played in the last four minutes of the game.
Game 4 of Warriors and Cavs became controversial. However, in the series, Warriors show all for their basketball fans.
"Can not get enough of this feeling so we're going to celebrate it together," Curry said, making the NBA finals record of nine-pointers in Game 2.
The Warriors did not give the Cavs a chance and its fans, despite the fact that they have not recovered from 0-3 in the past when nine points gain at halftime when Curry sank three-pointer.
As expected, the more demanding Warriors stand out in the third period and pull the advantage over double digits with a 25-13 scoring run.
In the fourth period, the Golden State's success has been no doubt and the only way to keep in mind is that Curry and Durant are the MVP finals.
And in the second straight season, Durant scored 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
In the history of the NBA, only the Boston Celtics in Bill Russell's time, the "Showtime" Lakers, the Los Angeles squad by Kobe and Shaq, and Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls have shown domination in the past
Today's 'Dub Dynasty'.
For James, it is expected to use the US $ 35.6 million contract to become a free agent next season.
